Turn Away Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Turn away
these eyes full of tears
of poison falling
puddles at my feet
Faded moments
wasted time
A gathering of failures
past mistakes made along the way
And now my favorite colors
reflections in hue and melancholy reds
My soul is tainted
my heart weakened beyond repair

If I stumble
if I fall
It won't matter
because this heart is already broken after it all
Turn away
pieces you have taken from me

Turn away
from this wreck of the century
My hair has now gone silently gray
I am not the same
This body trembling
my accidental programming
now in systems down
How anger replaces this tortured agony
Go ahead
let this tarnished life end without mercy
Ripped apart
from the constant radioactive therapy
Counting down the days until
everything begins to slip away
This hell
is it worth living
And I hope this whole world someday will know
that goodbye isnt said so easily

If I stumble
if I fall
It won't matter
because this heart is already broken after all
Turn away
pieces you have taken from me.....
